2026 UAPA Industry Leader of the Year

Daniel McDaniel

Dan began his construction career in 1986, building his expertise through hands-on experience while earning multiple ACI and ICC certifications and developing a strong background in QA/QC. Since joining Geneva Rock in 2012, he has advanced to his current role as Construction and Quality Control Manager, where he oversees asphalt and aggregate production.

He has also served as UAPA Technical Committee Chair for the past six years, working closely with contractors, UDOT, and APWA to strengthen collaboration and improve quality across the industry.

Over the past 18 months in particular, Dan has gone above and beyond in his support of UAPA. Most notably, he played a key role in developing UDOT’s Asphalt Inspection course, which has already trained more than 241 individuals this year. UAPA is stronger today because of his leadership.
